Also you finished your travels and came back to Chicago and then tell me
where did you learn art subtle. And your for your home while we first or
actually we were renting an apartment. It was
a friend of my father in law had this apartment and it was like cotton too and it
was I mean. It was the funniest apartment but there was reasonable. I don't know
how much we're paying by the way better is reasonable. So the land owner who was
a friend of my father in law. He and his wife lived in the front section of the
main floor and we were in the back and you had to go through the back and you go in
there and the kitchen sink is in the living room.
So there's a kitchen sink it was a furnished apartment and then there was
a sofa and then there and then the next room. They had the stove and the
refrigerator it was very small there wasn't enough room for tables so there was
a stove and a refrigerator and then there was
a bathroom very small bathroom and the bedroom was so small that
a double bed. You know fit in there and you'd have to kind of go
. Well we we stayed there. How long till we stayed there.
Oh gosh I can't remember how long we stayed there.
Although it wasn't
a very long because we were married in April. And then arts mother
had
a hysterectomy in June. So then we went to live with them to help her. To
help her and then we lived there for. See
a short time we can't remember how long were you there. Oh maybe I say maybe six
months or so and then then we were then and she improved. We went and got
a rented another apartment which was near Wrigley Field and we lived there for
a while and then my father in law bought this son apartment building and he wanted
us to move in there and kind of manage it so we did that. We did that we did I
can't remember how long that was and then then. I
know he must have sold that building and then we went to move in to one of my arts
art Sr was married and they owned an apartment building. So we went to. We
moved in there. And we eventually bought the building from them. One day they moved
to California. So I don't know what area of Chicago was that that the apartment
building. On the north side well it's like what the gulf
coast or to Evanston. Calls to the lake but
there were. You know whether Japanese there were Japanese room. So it was
mostly
a Caucasian area but some Japanese Americans and then there had also they had apartment
buildings too. So kind of
a mixed residential and yes yes. Well. And so then
you started
a family too. And so when was your first child born she was born in one thousand
and sixty. She was born on our fifth anniversary. And what did
you name her Becky Becky Jo. And we. We didn't give her
a Japanese name it was so I won't argue didn't care but
I think I feel. I didn't want to get rich or have
a nice name because I didn't want her to be with she body armor you know it's just
been is but it's like I didn't want her to be identified. If there's
a Japanese or something because I there was no it was just
a decision. I just made that decision that you know Japanese me tell you where you
a little afraid or worried that if she had
a Japanese name that would affect her life with all kind of kind
because people nowadays is why don't you. Children have Champneys names and I said
I just didn't want to give to them. And then you had another
child you know here two years later. And his name is
Brian Arthur and he has no Japanese name. So
. After your kids were born. Did you continue working outside the home or did you
know not after they were after. Becky was born I didn't work. I stayed home. And
then artwork. We had the apartment building.
